Head-to-head warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 258 There Are Ghosts (Part [-])
As soon as we got outside the door, we found that our five hundred guards were all there. When we asked someone, they didn't see Liu Bei coming out.

Zhao Yun and I turned back in a hurry, and before we had gone far, we met Yi Ji, who shouted at us from a long distance: "Don't worry, two generals, Uncle Liu Huang has already left the city through the back door."

I asked again, "Why did my lord leave without saying goodbye?"

Yi Ji said: "Two generals, if Uncle Liu Huang doesn't leave, I'm afraid that his name will be lost. This celebration banquet is actually a Hongmen banquet hosted by Cai Mao, just to kill Uncle Liu Huang. Well, I don't want to say more, so I bid farewell!"

After Yiji finished speaking, he turned around and slipped away. Regardless of his age, he could really run like a rabbit.

After Zhao Yun and I found out, we led five hundred guards and searched outside the city. We searched the north gate, south gate, and west gate. These gates were guarded by Cai He, Cai Xun, and Wang Can. When I asked them, they all said they hadn't seen Liu Bei, we had no proof, and we couldn't stretch them out, so we had to keep looking.

Two quarters of an hour later, we arrived at the edge of Tanxi, but saw Cai Mao leading a group of people by the stream, I stepped forward and shouted: "Cai Mao, where is my lord?!"

Cai Mao pointed to the other side of the stream and said, "It's over."

Zhao Yun walked around the river, pointed at Cai Mao when he came back, and said, "You are talking nonsense, the current is so fast, how can people pass by?"

Cai Mao rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, you two generals, your lord is really a man of God! I saw him ride past with my own eyes, and it was as if he flew past. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people behind me. They all saw it."

We didn't ask, and they would naturally do what Cai Mao said. I saw that there were indeed horseshoe marks on the river, as if someone had fallen into the water on a horse, but the current was so fast that no one could swim over it, let alone a horse.

I pointed to Cai Mao and said, "I knew you had no good intentions, you must have killed my lord, I want you to kill me today!"

Said, I was about to fight with Cai Mao, Cai Hao was not afraid of me at all, said: "General Tunyun, you only have 500 people now, if you really want to fight, you will be the losers, besides, your lord is now alive and dead I don't know, what's the benefit of you pestering me here?"

Zhao Yun whispered in my ear at this time: "General, let's go, it's important to find the master."

I nodded, and then said to Cai Mao: "My surname is Cai, listen carefully. If my lord is safe and sound, I will naturally not look for you. If there is something wrong with my lord, be careful of your dog's head!"

After saying these harsh words, I led the guards and set off on a horse towards the lower reaches of Tanxi River.

After running for a few miles, the river became narrower, and there was a small bridge on the river. We all came over, and then we looked back, calling, "Uncle Liu Huang—my lord—"

I kept looking for Tianhe, but I didn't see a single family. I don't know if I lost my way. Anyway, it's a big forest, and I can't see the edge or touch the head.

In the end, I couldn’t see it anymore, so I sent an order to go down, the whole army rested, and dozens of fires were lit. Only then did I realize that there was a cemetery behind us, and there were owls hooting from time to time. I don't believe in ghosts and gods in my life, but I still can't help being a little timid.

After searching for a long time, everyone was hungry, so I ordered them to find something to eat, and they were not allowed to run far.Some went to catch fish in the dark, some caught birds in the trees, and some even caught snakes to eat. I have to say that this forest is rich in game, and I also had a full meal.

In the second half of the night, everyone went to sleep, and the night watchmen were also arranged.

I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep, but I vaguely saw a big boa constrictor, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, with a helmet on its head. When I saw it, it looked like Liu Bei’s, but when I looked closely, it didn’t look like it. Seeing the boa constrictor crawling farther and farther, I was also anxious, thinking, maybe the snake would eat Liu Bei?So I stood up and chased the big boa constrictor. After chasing it for a mile, the boa constrictor suddenly stopped running, but I saw Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was struggling desperately at this time, his legs had been half swallowed by the two snakes, he took the double-pronged sword to chop off the snake's head desperately, the snake's head seemed to be made of copper cast iron, but it couldn't be cut off no matter what. With a bang, the snake's head was chopped off with sparks.

At this moment, the boa constrictor I was chasing ran up to Liu Bei, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed Liu Bei's head. I yelled: "Master!!!"

I made two steps in three steps, swung the sword in my hand and slashed at the snake, but it was also made of copper cast iron, and countless sparks were cut out, but I couldn't hurt it even half of it. In the end, even the sword was cut off, Liu Bei I was also eaten, and the three snakes pointed their heads at me again. I ran away desperately, they chased desperately, one of my feet stepped on the air, and fell to the ground. One of my legs ate my head, I shouted desperately, but it was of no avail.

When the snake was eating my head, I woke up. It turned out to be a dream. At this time, I was almost soaked, and I broke out in a cold sweat from fright.

I thought about that dream carefully, and it was really not a good omen. I looked at the sky, and it seemed that it was getting brighter. Surprised, is there really a ghost?But I quickly figured out that this is probably the legendary will-o'-the-wisp, the fire caused by the phosphorus in the bones of the dead body meeting the air.

When I was in a daze, I heard Zhao Yun shout: "Don't! Don't! My lord, run! Quick..."

He was actually dreaming too, which seemed to be related to Liu Bei, so I hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Zilong, Zilong, wake up."

After a few shots, Zhao Yun woke up, followed by 500 people waking up one after another.

After Zhao Yun woke up, he seemed to be a little scared, wiped the sweat off his face, and said to me: "I had a dream, dreaming that my lord was eaten by a big snake."

As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, a soldier came over and said, "You two generals, this is really strange. I also dreamed that my lord was eaten by a big snake."

Another soldier also said: "I also had this dream."

Immediately afterwards, others also said: "Me too."

"Me too."

"It's the same dream I had."

. . . . . .

After hearing this, I gasped, looked at the cemetery behind, and thought, his uncle, this place is really evil, five hundred people have the same dream, isn’t it a ghost or something?
Just as I thought of this, one of the soldiers said: "You two generals, I feel that there must be ghosts playing tricks on us in the cemetery. My subordinate suggested that we dig up all these graves so that they can't go home. See if they dare to play tricks on us!"
